DAVIS

In the 1720's, four Davis brothers, Jehu, John, William
and Roger, emigrated from the British Isles to Massachu¬
setts, where they remained for a time in the vicinity of
Boston. They then went to South Carolina, and thence to
the Cape Fear section of North Carolina, where they lo¬
cated permanently about 1725. The ancestry of these four
brothers has not been traced, but we may judge it from the
character of their descendants. The name Davis, both in
early and later times on the Cape Fear, has always been
associated with all that was highly respectable and honor¬
able.

William and Roger Davis never married. William was
the commander of a “Troop of Horse” in the French and
Indian war. Roger's activities are unknown. Jehu was
our ancestor and his descendants are traced herein. John
married a daughter of Nathaniel Moore (son of Gov. James
Moore the first, of South Carolina) and his children inter¬
married with the most prominent families of eastern North
Carolina. His son John married Harriet Ashe (daughter
of Gen. John Ashe) ; another son, William, married Mar¬
garet Moore (daughter of George Moore), who was the
half-sister of Mary Moore who married Thomas Davis, the
son of Jehu Davis.

Intermarriage among the early families was constant
and often close, sometimes to the extent of double first
cousins. The infant mortality among them was extremely
high. In a very prominent family there were twenty-eight
children, of whom only seven survived to maturity, due in
large measure, perhaps, to lack of medical knowledge and
care. All of them were well-to-do, owning large estates and
many slaves.

SWANN

William Swann (son of Sir Francis Swann) emigrated
from England to America not long after Jamestown was
settled, probably sometime after the year 1616. In England,
as nearly always was the case in early days, the name was
spelled in a number of forms, principally Swayne, Swain,
and Swan, and there were several shareholders in the “Vir¬
ginia Company” of that name, but whether their influence
had a connection with William's emigration is not now
known. Probably it did. It is certain, however, that he
was among the first Englishmen who established them¬
selves permanently in this country. In America our branch
of the family held persistently to the spelling Swann.

William Swann was a pioneer when he crossed the
James River and settled Swann's Point five miles from
Jamestown. This was prior to 1636, our earliest reference
to his settlement there. Several generations of Swanns
were born, lived and died at Swann's Point, in Surry County,
Va. As late as 1879, the gravestone of William Swann’s
son, Thomas Swann, was in evidence, bearing date of death
1680. It was located near the water on the bank of James
River.

Except for the condensed statement of birth, death and
marriage dates, we have little of the detail of life among
the early generations of the family, outside of terse official
records. But from these may be seen that William Swann
was the progenitor of many distinguished men of Virginia
and North Carolina, and elsewhere.

In the following record of the family, I believe there is
much that has not been published before. The mss. are
very clear and need little explanation, except that the dates
given prior to 1752 are old style.

CABELL

The history of the Cabell family in England has been
traced to the eleventh century, when Walter Cabell wit¬
nessed a charter at Bradenstone, in Wiltshire. This Walter
Cabell appears to have arrived in England about the time
of the Conquest. He settled there and his descendants
continued in the counties of Wilts, Dorset, Devon and
Somerset, and later spread to other sections of England.

The Cabells even at this early period were land owners.
They also seem to have been of a religious tendency, for
they made frequent and munificent gifts to the Church.
That they were among the high-class people of England of
the time is evinced by the record of their activities.

Richard Cabell was elected to Parliament in 1562; sat
in that body four years, and was re-elected to the next
Parliament. His son, Richard, was a gentleman of distinc¬
tion and wealthy for his day. William, son of the second
Richard, inherited much of his father’s estate, but does
not seem to have had an active public career. William
Cabell’s son, Richard, was the father of Dr. William Cabell,
the founder of our branch of the family in America. These
Cabells were of the Frome stock.

I have made no original research in the Cabell line, nor
does any seem necessary, as a very complete genealogical
record of them, both in England and in this country, was
published in 1895, by Alexander Brown, a noted genealogist,
entitled “Cabells and Their Kin”. It is a monumental work
of many pages, tracing the descendants of the Cabells from
early times down even to my day B 347. I have assembled
our direct lineage as indicated herein entirely from that
source.

Genealogical Notes

By Thomas Frederick Davis

1. Jehu Davis and his brothers were among the first settlers in
the Cape Fear region of North Carolina. In 1728, he received letters
patent to 640 acres of land on the west side of the Cape Fear. In
1734, he was living on his plantation on Old Town Creek (Brunswick
County), and his brother, John, had settled a few miles above him.
In 1738, Jehu Davis was a member of His Majesty’s Commission of
the Peace x, the duties of which I presume were similar to those of
justice. He seems to have been a man of quiet habits. He died before
the period of the American Revolution.

2. Among the early settlers in the Old Town Creek section of
the Cape Fear was a family by the name of Assup w 24. j have found
no further record of this family; but am satisfied that Jane Assup
was a member of it.

3. There is little doubt that Thomas Davis was the Davis men¬
tioned as a member of the body of armed patriots that successfully
resisted the landing of British stamps in the Wilmington area in
February, 1766. This is said to have been the first and only actually
armed body, regularly organized and officered, that resisted the pro¬
mulgation of the British Stamp Act in America. S 59 ; w 25-31. Thomas
Davis was one of the organizers of the Sons of Liberty in Brunswick
County, N. C., in 1770 s 106 and also of the subsequent Committee of
Safety WH 74. That he was active for Independence in the years
preceding and during the Revolution is certain. Contemporaneous
record of his family seems to have been lost, possibly in a fire. For¬
tunately, Thomas F. Davis, his son, prepared prior to 1846, a family
history, giving many particulars, but did not include dates. A copy
of this record is in my possession.

4. Our Moore- Yeamans and Ashe-Lillington Ancestry.

John Yeamans m. Margaret Gibbes Alex. Lillington m. Eliz. Cook
Anne Yeamans m. Jas. Moore (Sr.) Eliz. Lillington m. SamT Swann,1
Roger Moore m. Miss Raynes Eliz. Swann m. John Baptista Ashe

George Moore m. Mary Ashe
Mary Moore m. Thomas Davis

Sir John Yeamans (cl611-1674), knight and baronet, seems to
have married three times. Margaret Gibbes, of Barbadoes, was ap¬
parently his second wife AC 111 38> 337» v 249. About 1665, he attempted
a settlement of Barbadoes planters on the lower Cape Fear in North
Carolina, then called Clarendon, and although it failed it was the
forerunner of later permanent development. Returning to Barbadoes*
he was appointed under the proprietary system governor of (South)
Carolina in 1671, a position he held until 1674. For a more extended
account of him consult the standard American biographical works.

Genealogical Notes

James Moore (Sr.) (cl640-1706) was a descendant of the O’Mores
of Irish fame. He seems to have emigrated from England to Bar-
badoes, afterward removing to South Carolina and setting in the
Goose Creek section, certainly prior to 1674, and possibly as early
as 1666. He was one of the most spectacular figures in American
colonial history. He was a brave and successful Indian fighter. In
1702, he commanded an expedition against the Spaniards in East
Florida, which, however, failed. Later he attacked and destroyed the
Spanish mission towns in middle West Florida in the region of Talla¬
hassee. He held nearly every office of importance in the Colony (South
Carolina) between 1677 and 1700, when he was appointed by the
Council governor, which office he held until the arrival of Gov. John¬
son in 1703. He was then appointed attorney-general. He died of
yellow fever in 1706. There is practically no authentic contemporane¬
ous record of Governor Moore's private life, and as a result much
confusion exists among genealogists in their effort to interpret it
from the little that is known. This is especially so in regard to his
marriage with a daughter of Sir John Yeamans. This more than a
century old family tradition was apparently verified by Alexander
Brown, one of the most noted of American genealogists, who prior
to 1893 made an extensive investigation of Barbadoes records. He
did not qualify his statement that James Moore, Sr., married Anne
Yeamans B 456-7. This must have been his second marriage and after
1671, as Anne was unmarried at that time (see will of Sir John Yea¬
mans). It is perfectly possible that James Moore married three
times; that his sons, James and Maurice were children by a first
marriage; Roger and maybe others by his marriage with Ann Yea¬
mans, and still others by his marriage with Margaret - .

Roger Moore ( -1752) was a member of the House of Commons

for South Carolina in 1717 sc 571. Several years later he with his
brothers (or half-brothers) Maurice and Nathaniel removed to North
Carolina and about 1725 settled permanently in the Cape Fear section;
they were the progenitors in that state of the long prominent Moore
family. Roger settled on the lower Cape Fear, in what later became
Brunswick County. His home, “Orton”, was the finest of the early
Colonial mansions in North Carolina. He was known throughout
all that part of the country as “King” Roger Moore, because of his
great wealth in land and slaves. He was a member of the Governor’s
Council of North Carolina for many years B 456. By his first wife,
who was a Miss Raynes, he had one son, George Moore J 340.

George Moore (cl715-1778*), upon becoming of age, settled on a
plantation which he named “Moorefields” (some fifteen miles north of
Wilmington). He was a member of the Colonial Assembly in 1745
and 1754-62. He was an outstanding leader in the famous armed
prevention of the British Stamp Act in the Wilmington area in

"Date of his will. March 20. 1778. J 840.

Genealogical Notes

February, 1766 w 25-6. jn the decade preceding the American Revo¬
lution, George Moore’s name appears in all of the patriotic activities
in the Wilmington district. He was a signer of the well-known “New
Hanover Association” of June 19, 1775, denouncing the Royal Governor
as an enemy to the freedom, rights, and privileges of the Colony B 456.
He stood side by side with his relatives and friends in advancing the
cause of Independence and continued to do so until his death. George
Moore married first in 1739, Mary Ashe (1723-1761), by whom he had
fourteen children, of which only George, John B., James, Mary and
Sarah grew up. George m. Miss Watters, sister of Henry Watters;
John B. m. Miss Jones, sister of his father’s second wife; James m.
Miss Lloyd; Mary m. Thomas Davis; Sarah m. Fred Jones and then
Parson Hailing. George Moore married second Sarah Jones, daugh¬
ter of Thomas Jones, and by her he had fourteen children also, but
only Margaret and Thomas survived to maturity. Margaret m.
William Davis and died without issue; Thomas m. Miss Howe D.

Alexander Lillington (1643-1697) was the founder of the name in
North Carolina. He removed from Barbadoes and settled in Alber-
marle. He was a member of the first “free parliament”, 1677,
originating in an attempt to escape from too rigid enforcement of
the British navigation and custom laws — among the first troubles
that led to the American Revolution a hundred years later. He was
judge of the precinct court in 1690; president of the Council and
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court; high-sheriff of Albermarle,
1693, and ex-officio governor of North Carolina, 1693-5 A 128,144; AC;
B588. He married in 1675, Elizabeth Cook (his second wife), who
died in 1695.

John Baptists Ashe (d cl740*) was the founder of the Ashe
family in North Carolina. He was a man of refinement and culture
and an eminent lawyer. He settled in the Albermarle section; but
about 1727 removed to the Cape Fear region. He was speaker of
the Assembly in 1725 and a member of the Council 1731-4 AC iv 26 ; w 46.
His controversy with Governor Burrington, resulting in Burrington’s
abdication, is a well-known incident of North Carolina’s early history.
He married in 1719, Elizabeth Swann (1699-1729).

Thus with the marriage of Thomas Davis and Mary Moore the
blood of many of North Carolina’s most distinguished pioneers and
patriots was mingled in their descendants.

5. Thomas F. Davis lived during a period of comparative calm in
this country, with the exception of the trouble with Great Britain
in 1812-14. He was for many years clerk of the Court of Pleas for
New Hanover County at Wilmington. There could be no greater
monument erected to him than the words of his wife, “A good and
just man, doing as far as he had it in his power good to every one.”
He was born near Wilmington, lived his life and died there.

•His will was probated Nov. 15, 1740. NC I 26.

Genealogical Notes

6. Anna E. Cutlar (Mrs. Thomas F. Davis) was born in Wilming¬
ton. When her son, Horatio Davis, and family removed from Wil¬
mington to Chatham, Va., she made that her home and died there.
She is buried in the Episcopal churchyard at Mt. Airy, Va.

7. Thomas Frederick Davis (1804-1871) was bom near Wilming¬
ton; graduated from the University of North Carolina; studied law;
practiced his profession at Wilmington several years, and then entered
the Ministry. He was rector of several Parishes in North Carolina
at different times. In 1846, he accepted a call to Camden, S. C.,
where he remained after being consecrated Bishop of the Diocese
of South Carolina in 1853. His eyesight failed in later years, but
he continued the charge until his death. He was beloved by all
denominations.

8. George Davis (1820-1896) was born on his father’s plantation
near Wilmington; was graduated from the University of North
Carolina with the highest honors; studied law, and practiced his
profession throughout his life at Wilmington. He was considered
one of the most accomplished lawyers and orators that North Carolina
ever produced. He was a delegate to the Peace Conference preceding
the War Between the States; then Confederate States Senator, and
finally Attorney-General in the second Confederate Cabinet. His pen
produced many valuable essays on North Carolina history.

9. Horatio Davis was born in Wilmington, N. C. He was educated
at St. James College in Maryland, and upon returning home entered
the Confederate service as a member of Company E, 10th Regiment
North Carolina Artillery, Captain Alexander Moore. He served
throughout the war and was a Lieutenant of Artillery at its close.
His battery was in constant action around Petersburg and at the
“Crater” was in immediate contact with the enemy. He was a brave
soldier s 319. After the war he studied law in the office of his brother,
George Davis, and was admitted to the bar in 1867. Two years later,
with his family he removed to Chatham, Va., where he practiced his
profession. He was County Judge of Pittsylvania County 1880-1886,
resigning the office to remove to Florida, in October, 1886. Tem¬
porarily located in Cedar Key, he practiced there several years and
then permanently located in Gainesville, in 1891. Judge Davis
confined his practice to civil law, and his knowledge of the law was
so profound that prominent lawyers elsewhere often sought his advice
and judgment upon important cases. Professionally he lived with
the law, within the law, and for the law. He would not accept a case
that was without merit. He gave many lectures on civil law at the
University of Florida without charge and gladly assisted students
with their courses whenever requested. He was offered nomination
for a number of important political offices, including Justice of the
Supreme Court of the State, but invariably refused. The only political
office he ever held in Florida was mayor of Gainesville, to which

he was really commandeered in a time of stress. After a life of the
highest integrity, he died, I am sure, in the knowledge that he had
played well his part in the uplift of mankind. He died at Gainesville
and is buried there by the side of his wife.

10. Parke Miller (Mrs. Horatio Davis) was born at “Belle Vue”,
the estate of her father in Halifax County, Virginia. She was given
every advantage in education, which she had just completed when the
war between the states commenced. Those four years of strife she
spent with her aged father at “Sharswood”, the estate of her uncle,
N. C. Miller, in Pittsylvania County. It was here that she met
Lt. Horatio Davis, C.S.A., whom she afterward married. She was
considered one of the most beautiful young women in southern Vir¬
ginia. She was a talented pianist; knew much about art, and became
very active in Church, charitable and patriotic organizations in
Virginia and afterward in Florida. She was associated with Rev.
C. 0. Pruden in the first steps that grew into the establishment of
Chatham Episcopal Institute, now named Chatham Hall. She was
one of the founders of Kirby Smith Chapter, U.D.C., at Gainesville,
Fla., and declined the nomination to become its first president. She
was State Historian, U.D.C., at the time of her death. She died in
Gainesville and is buried there.

11. Thomas Frederick Davis was born in Chatham, Va., and moved
with his parents to Florida in 1886. He completed his education at
the East Florida Seminary at Gainesville (now University of Florida);
entered the United States Weather Bureau, and served at Galveston,
1899; Jacksonville, 1899-1901; Curacao, West Indies, 1901-2; Wash¬
ington, D. C., 1902-5; and again at Jacksonville, 1905-14. He resigned
from the government service and established the Insurance business,
of which he is still the head. He was a member of the Duval County,
Florida, militia during the World War and was active in civilian war
work at that time. He is nationally known as a Florida historian,
having published a number of works on Florida history, a list of
which is carried in “Who’s Who Among North American Authors”.
He is a member of several local and national historical and patriotic
societies.

12. Annie Clarkson (Mrs. Thomas Frederick Davis) was bora in
Jacksonville, Florida, daughter of Walter Bernard Clarkson (1857-
1910) by his first wife Leah Ann Hartridge (1861-1888), who was the
daughter of Dr. Theodore Hartridge (1816-1893) and Susan (Livings¬
ton) Hartridge (1829-1910) of Jacksonville since 1853. Annie Clark¬
son received her preliminary education in the public schools of Jack¬
sonville and completed it at Hollins College in Virginia in 1904,
receiving the highest honors accorded by the college. She is active
in Church, charitable and patriotic circles in Jacksonville and Florida.
She traces her Clarkson ancestry to the Clarksons and Andersons of
Virginia; her Hartridge ancestry to John Earl Hartridge of Savannah,

ancestry to Thomas Livingston of Virginia, a soldier in the Revolu¬
tion, and through him to Robert Livingston, who emigrated from
Scotland in 1673, and settled in Albany, N. Y., where he was known
as Lord of the Manor.

13. Leah Hartridge Davis was born in Jacksonville; received her
preliminary education in the public schools and completed it at the
Florida State College for Women, where she was graduated with
A.B. degree in 1927. She is a teacher of English Literature in the
Jacksonville high schools.

14. Parke Cabell Davis was born in Jacksonville. She went
through all the grades of the local public schools; attended the Florida
State College for Women, and was graduated in 1933 with A.B. degree.

15. William Swann (son of Sir Francis Swann of England) was
granted 1200 acres of land for influencing 24 settlers to come to
Virginia. He settled Swann’s Point across James River five miles
from Jamestown. He was land register in Virginia aciiiss and
Collector of Royal Customs WR 306, one of the highest offices in the
Colony at that time.

16. Thomas Swann was burgess of James City County, Va., in
1645 and 1649, and probably the intervening years. He was lieutenant-
colonel of Virginia militia in the Indian wars about 1652; sheriff and
justice of Surry County, Va., 1653; burgess from Surry 1657-8, and
a member of the Council of 1660 AC m 38, which asserted principles of
liberty not exceeded even by those of the Revolution more than a
hundred years afterward H 309. He was a member of Gov. Culpepper’s
Council at the time of his death in 1680 D.

17. Samuel Swann I was justice of Surry County, Va., in 1674,
and sheriff of the county at the time of Bacon’s rebellion in 1676.
He was a close friend of Bacon and the son-in-law of Gov. William
Drummond, first governor of North Carolina appointed by the Lord
Proprietors, who was summarily executed by Royal Governor Berke¬
ley for participation in the rebellion. We may feel sure that
Samuel Swann was in sympathy with the rebellion and that his wife,
Sarah (Drummond) Swann expressed his opinion when she said, “The
child that is unborn will have cause to rejoice for the good that will
come by the uprising of the country” H 35°. In 1677 Samuel Swann
was living on his plantation on Lyon’s Creek and was a member of
the House of Burgesses from that time at intervals until 1693. He
was a major of militia in 1687 AC IV 26. Evidently, upon his father’s
death in 1680, he was at Swann’s Point for some time, maybe engaged
in the settlement of the estate. He removed to Perquimans Precinct,
N. C., prior to 1694, for in the General Court of that year he entered
a claim for 640 acres of land for importing 13 persons (his family
and servants) into the Colony of North Carolina NC ill 246. He was
senior justice of the General Court of North Carolina 1697-1703;

secretary of state in 1700, and collector of Royal Customs for “Roan-
oak” A 148, 151, 193 ; WR 306 ; NC II 302 ; D.

18. Elizabeth (Lillington) Fendall, second wife of Samuel
Swann I, was the widow of Col. John Fendall and the daughter of
Major Alexander and Elizabeth (Cook) Lillington (see note 4). After
the death of Samuel Swann, she married her third husband, Maurice
Moore.

19. Samuel Swann II was a native North Carolinian, born on his
father's plantation in Perquimans. He was a member of the Assembly
in 1727 NC I 117. He helped survey the line between North Carolina
and Virginia in 1729, when he crossed Dismal Swamp, being the first
white man to do so. It is quite a coincidence that one of the surveyors
representing Virginia in that event was also an ancestor, William
Mayo. Some time after the completion of the work, Samuel Swann II
removed to the Cape Fear, naming his plantation “ye Oaks”. He
became a distinguished lawyer and the most influential man of his
time in North Carolina w 54-55. jje was a member of the Assembly,
and speaker of that body continuously from 1743 to 1762, with the
exception of 1754A 302f which position in Colonial times was next
in dignity to that of governor. His power and influence were so
great that Governor Dobbs several times dissolved the Assembly in
the hope that a new election would result more favorably for British
policies in North Carolina M 1 69* 82. He was one of the compilers
and finished the work of the Revisal of the Statute Laws of the
Province of North Carolina of 1752, known as “Yellow Jacket” from
the color of the binding — the first book printed in the Province w 54* D.
He was a leader in the armed movement of February, 1766, that
nullified the British Stamp Act in the Wilmington district. Though
advancing in age, he continued to give his services for Independence
until his death s 69.

20. Our Jones Ancestry. Capt. Roger Jones and his wife, Dorothy
(Walker) Jones, of England, friends of Lord Culpepper, went to
Virginia in 1680, where they remained several years and then returned
to England. About 1701-2, their two sons, Thomas and Frederick
Jones came over and settled at Williamsburg, where Thomas located
permanently and Frederick for a time, removing later to the Alber-
marle country in North Carolina. They became our ancestors in
this way: Thomas Jones married in 1725, Elizabeth Pratt (1701-1762),
the widowed daughter of Dr. William Cocke and Elizabeth (Catesby)
Cocke, sister of the famous naturalist, Mark Catesby. They had
among others a son, Frederick Jones. Frederick Jones, the emigrant,
brother of Thomas Jones, married prior to 1708, Jane (Harding?);
they had a daughter, Jane Jones who married Samuel Swann II, and
their daughter, Jane Swann, married Frederick Jones, son of Thomas,
the emigrant, and her second cousin (see the lineage). There has
been much confusion among genealogists and historians as to the

30

Genealogical Notes

identity of the two Fredericks, both being prominent in North Caro¬
lina affairs — the second Frederick was the nephew of the emigrant
Frederick Jones J 34-37, 123, 216.

Thomas Jones (d. 1757) was a planter and merchant of Williams¬
burg. He was an Alderman of Williamsburg; represented William
and Mary College in the House of Burgesses 1720-22; moved to Han¬
over County late in life and died there J 346-8.

Frederick Jones (1670-1722) removed from Williamsburg to Alber-
marle County, N. C., prior to 1711, in which year he was a member
of the Colonial Assembly of North Carolina, and again in 1715. He
was a captain of militia in the Indian wars of 1712-13. He was
Chief Justice of North Carolina from 1718 to 1721. He died at his
plantation “Hayes”, near Edenton J 320-27 ; R 139.

Frederick Jones (1732-1797) was induced by his father-in-law,
Samuel Swann II, to remove from Virginia to the Cape Fear. He
studied law and became a prominent man in his section. He was
probably with his friends and kinsmen in the armed force that resisted
the landing of stamps under the British Stamp Act, near Wilmington
in 1766; was one of the originators of the Sons of Liberty in his
section, and of its successor, the Committee of Safety. He was a
member of the committee that supported the “Resolves” of the Revo¬
lutionary Convention, and thereafter to and throughout the Revolution
was a patriot in the cause of American Independence J 350-52. jn 1783,
he was recommended for Judge of Admiralty for the Port of Bruns¬
wick, N. C.

Dr. William Cocke (1672-1720) was born at Sunbury, Suffolk
County, England; educated at Queen’s College, Cambridge; became
a physician; emigrated to Virginia and settled at Williamsburg. He
practiced his profession and at the same time held high political office.
He was many years of the Council of Virginia; secretary of state;
and died suddenly sitting a judge upon the Bench of the General
Court at the Capitol. Governor Spotswood and the principal gentle¬
men of the country attended the funeral J 121-22.

21. Dr. Roger Cutlar was a young Scotchman, who, with his two
brothers, settled at Wilmington, N. C., about 1785. He was the son
of John Cutlar of Argrennon in Scotland, whose estate known as
“Oraland” had at that time been in the Cutlar family for four hundred
years, and which estate it was often said would have descended to
Dr. Roger Cutlar had he not become an American citizen. Some
years ago the estate belonged to Sir Robert Ferguson, a descendant
of the female branch of the Cutlar family. Dr. Cutlar’s niece married
Sir John Anstruther and after his death married Dr. Marsham, presi¬
dent of Merton College, but in accordance with English custom, was
called Lady Anstruther until her death D. Dr. Roger Cutlar married
first in 1790, Ellen Spillar, who died in 1794; they had one child,
James Cutlar, who died young R. Ann Jones was his second wife.

22. William Cabell was born near Warminster, England; studied
medicine and surgery, and was for a time surgeon in the British
navy. He emigrated to America about 1724, and settled in what was
then called Goochland County, Virginia, in a wilderness far beyond
the established settlements. Having a knowledge of surveying, he
staked out claims in the valley of the James River fifty miles farther
west than had ever been attempted before. In this wild country he
awaited the advance of civilization and laid the foundation for a
respectable Society. In the meantime he held several public offices,
among them justice of the peace; coroner, an important office in that
day; and captain of militia in 1745. When settlement became per¬
manent, he resumed the practice of his profession and erected a
hospital near his residence — the first in that part of Virginia. The
pioneer life of Dr. Cabell reads like romance and is given in detail
in Brown’s “Cabells and their Kin”, p'p. 32-72.

23. Elizabeth Burks (Mrs. William Cabell) was the daughter of
Samuel Burks and Mary (Davis) Burks, who were the founders of
the Burks family of Virginia B 43.

24. William Cabell II was born near Licking-Hole Creek, then in
Goochland County, Virginia, afterward subdivided and becoming
Albermarle, and finally Amherst County. He was captain of a troop
in the French and Indian war, was promoted to lieutenant-colonel in
1755, and to colonel in 1760. He was a member of the House of
Burgesses 1757-61. When Albermarle was divided and Amherst
created in 1761, Col. Cabell became the first county lieutenant and
presiding magistrate of Amherst. He held all of the leading offices
of the county from 1761 until the Revolution; was a member of the
first Revolutionary convention at Williamsburg in August, 1774;
of the State Committee of Safety from its beginning to its end; and
attended as a representative from his county every patriotic con¬
vention and general meeting until Virginia ceased to be a Colony
and became a State in July, 1776. He was senator from his district
1776-81. While constantly engaged with the affairs of state during
the Revolution, he yet found time to serve his country in a military
capacity in the distribution of arms and provisions for the Amherst
troops. “He served his country when her trials were but commencing;
he served her to his utmost when she was in her sorest travails; and
he served her until he saw her safely through the tempest.” It was
not until he cast his ballot as a delegate for George Washington and
saw him elected that he retired from public life B 75-120. He died at
his estate “Union Hill”, Nelson County.

25. Margaret Jordan (Mrs. William Cabell II) was the daughter
of Col. Samuel Jordan and Ruth (Meredith) Jordan, daughter of
Samuel Meredith by his first wife. Samuel Jordan was a justice of
the peace for Albermarle County, Va., 1746-61; a captain in 1753;
sheriff 1753-55; presiding justice and county lieutenant of the new

32

Genealogical Notes

County of Buckingham in 1761, and burgess from that county 1767-
69. Although an old man at the beginning of the Revolution, he
served as colonel of militia for his county and was State Commissioner
for casting cannon in Buckingham B 127-28.

26. William Cabell III was bom at “Union Hill”. He was at
school when the Revolution commenced. In January, 1781, he was
aiding his father with the work of supplying the Amherst troops. At
the age of twenty-two, he was major of Lieut. Col. John Pope’s
battalion of Amherst militia. This battalion was with Lafayette at
Yorktown and it is assumed that Major Cabell was with it. He is
known to have been in battle at the end of the war. After the war
he was surveyor of Amherst 1783-1788 and justice of the peace 1784-
1808; he was sheriff 1796-98, and a member of the General Assembly
1789 to 1797, except 1792. In 1798, he was lieutenant-colonel com¬
manding the 28th regiment of Virginia militia. In 1808, Amherst
was divided and “Union Hill” was included in the new county of
Nelson. Col. Cabell was appointed the first presiding justice of
Nelson, a position he held until his death. He died at “Union Hill”
and was buried there B 190-204.

27. Our Carrington-Codrington Ancestry. Anne Carrington (Mrs.
William Cabell III) was the daughter of Judge Paul Carrington (1733-
1818) and his wife Margaret (Read) Carrington, daughter of Col.
Clement Read and Mary (Hill) Read, of Virginia. Judge Paul Car¬
rington was king’s attorney for Lunenburg County, Va.; major of
militia, 1761, and colonel 1764. He was a member of the House of
Burgesses, 1765-1775; presiding justice, 1772; and a member of all
of the county committees incident to the American Revolution, and
of the first state Committee of Safety. He was judge of county
court, 1777, and of the court of appeals in 1779. He was a member
of the Constitutional Convention of 1788 B 205. Judge Carrington was
the son of George Carrington (1711-1785) and Anne (Mayo) Carring¬
ton (1712-1785), daughter of Major William Mayo and Frances
(Gould) Mayo. George Carrington was surveyor and justice of
Goochland County, Va., 1734; a burgess almost continuously from
1747 to 1765; captain of militia, 1740; major, 1743, and afterwards
colonel. Too old for the army, he gave his services upon the com¬
mittees of the Revolution B 157-68. George Carrington was the son
of Dr. Paul Carrington of Barbadoes, W. I., by his second wife,
Henningham Codrington (1673-1742), who was the great-great-
granddaughter of Simon Codrington, of England, a member of the
Virginia Company of London, and according to Alexander Brown,
the first individual Englishman to own in his own right a foot of
land in America, 1615-16 B *68.

Col. Clement Read (1707-1763) was a lawyer; county lieutenant
of Lunenburg; presiding magistrate; frequently a burgess; and one
of the most influential men of his section B 207.

Genealogical Notes

33

William Mayo (1684-1744) emigrated from Barbadoes to Virginia
about 1723, and settled in Goochland County. He was a professional
surveyor and his maps and surveys were the most important of early
Virginia. He was one of those running the dividing line between
Virginia and North Carolina in 1729. [Another ancestor, Samuel
Swann, represented North Carolina in that event]. William Mayo
surveyed Richmond in 1737. He was appointed major of militia in
1730, and colonel in 1740 B 168-71.

28. Margaret Cabell (Mrs. Thomas Stanhope McClelland) was
born at “Union Hill”, the home of her parents in Nelson County, Va.
She died at “Montezuma”, the estate of her husband, also in Nelson
County, and is buried there B 339.

29. Thomas Stanhope McClelland was born near Gettysburg, Pa.;
studied law in Staunton, Va., and after his marriage practiced in
Lynchburg. In 1814, he removed to his estate “Montezuma”, in
'Nelson County, and continued to practice in that section until 1825,
when, on account of ill health, he practically retired. He was one
of the attorneys engaged in settling Patrick Henry’s estate. He
died at “Montezuma” and was buried there. He was the son of
Thomas McClelland and Mary (Stanhope) McClelland, who came to
America from the north of Ireland about 1750 and settled in Penn¬
sylvania B 340-42.

30. Laura McClelland (Mrs. G. M. Y. Miller) was born probably
at “Montezuma”, the home of her parents in Nelson County, Va.
She died at “Belle Vue”, her husband’s estate in Halifax County,
and was buried there. Her gravestone bears this epitaph: “She
was lovely in her life; in every relation she was faithful; she kept
the Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus”.

31. George Mercer Yuille Miller was a Virginia 'planter owning
a fine estate on Staunton (Roanoke) River, in Halifax County, nearly
opposite “Red Hill”, the home of Patrick Henry. After the death
of his wife in 1853, he sold “Belle Vue” and removed to “Sharswood”,
near Mt. Airy, Pittsylvania County, where he made his home with
his bachelor half-brother, N. Crenshaw Miller, and died there June 1,
1866. His body was taken to “Belle Vue” for burial by the side of
his wife. He was the only child of William Miller by his first wife,
Miss Yuille, of Virginia. William Miller emigrated from Scotland
about 1775, and settled in Halifax or Pittsylvania County, Va. He
was an American soldier in the Revolution and carried a scar above
his right eye to the day of his death. When he had his portrait
painted afterward (now in my possession), he had this scar shown,
as, it was said, he was very proud of it. He was a Southern planter
of the old school, owning much land and many slaves. He was an
intimate friend of Patrick Henry. By a second marriage, with Agnes
Crenshaw, of Pittsylvania County, he had four sons, N. C., W. B.,
C. E., and J. R. Miller. William Miller died at an advanced age

about 1841. Many original wills, deeds, letters, commissions, &c.,
of the Miller and Crenshaw families descended to me; these are now
